"I have received
the book I am very pleased with it. I've had my flute for a few years now,
and now have time to try and play it. With the help of your book,
I am now making good sounds out of it. I thank you very much."

Easy Song - Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star
There are at least 5, different fingering positions that you
can use to play the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on
your Native American Flute. I am including the fingering charts
for the first 2 positions on this page for both the 5 hole Native
American Flute and the 6 hole Native American Flute.
Comparing The 5 Hole Flute To The 6 Hole Flute
You use the same fingering for the 6 hole flute as you do the
5 hole flute when you play songs that use the minor pentatonic
scale. The 3rd hole from the top is the added hole that a 5 hole
flute does not have. By keeping this hole covered, you are playing
the same as a 5 hole flute.
There are times when you are playing a song that is not in the
minor pentatonic scale and that is when the 6 hole flute is a
more versatile instrument. * Notice the difference in how you
play the first set of notes in the song Twinkle Twinkle Little
Star. The 6 hole flute makes it easier because the 5 hole flute
requires you to play a 1/2 hole to get the note.

Listen
to song samples and then scroll down to see the fingering charts
showing you how to play. Compare the sounds below. Hear the difference
in pitch. I play the same song, in 3 different postions, using
the same flute. The Native American Flute I used is tuned to
the key of F#.
